August is Escapes Month!

It was a long time ago that we spent a night in the charming Greek village of Assos. But we still remember a wonderful evening swim in the harbor, a delicious meal at a little taverna, and a peaceful night's sleep at a basic but comfortable inn.

While we love traveling to big cities, sometimes we need to recharge our batteries by doing nothing but sitting in the sun, reading, and enjoying really good food. We then come home reminded that it's the little things that we appreciate: soft sheets, lush towels, lovely soap, tasty food, a good book.

Tell us -- or send us your photos -- about how your escapes have inspired your home life. We're at: sf (at) apartmenttherapy (dot) com.
